so, we reached out to glenn greenwald, who, as a former constitutional and civil rights litigator, keeps his critical and contrarian eye on potential conflicts between national security and individual liberty. among his best-selling books, "how would a patriot act?" and most recently, "with liberty and justice for some: how the law is used to destroy equality and protect the powerful." currently, glenn greenwald writes regularly for "the guardian." you can read him on their website. welcome, glenn. it's good to see you again. >> great to be back. >> was it right, in your opinion, for the suspect in boston to be charged as a criminal rather than an enemy combatant? >> absolutely. there were very few people who even took seriously the idea that he ought to be charged as an enemy combatant for many reasons, including the fact that he's an american citizen on us soil. and if there's one thing we're taught to think about our country, it's that the government can't punish people or put them in cages or threaten them with death without charging them with a crime, giving them a trial with a jury

the filibuster was attacked then because of the issue of civil rights. i remember just about nine years later, in 1975, when a republican vice president, nelson rockefeller, together with a bipartisan group led by then senator walter mondale and then senator from kansas, james pierson, republican, led a fight which basically was the nuclear option. they were successful. they changed the cloture rule from 2/3 down to 60. now the proposal, i guess, is to change the cloture rule down to 51. i am the co-author of a book entitled "defending the filibuster." i wrote it with a gentleman who worked initially for senator paul tsongas of massachusetts and stayed on the hill for 30 years, ending up working for senator carl levin of michigan. the reason we wrote this book is we saw the benefits of the filibuster. when rich aronberg, my co- author, came into the parliamentarian's office in the late 1970's, we knew that in order to pass a bill that senator tsongas was interested in called the alaska lands bill, that the republican senator, senator ted stevens, would h

war is red hot right now. it isn't going away right now in your party. >> no, it's not going to go away. and it's going to play out over the 2016 election, but look, this isn't an ideological fight within the republican party. the fact of the matter is these groups, in the name of conservatism, they've taken conservatism and defined it not by issues but by tactics and by extreme rhetoric. and by who's the most nutty person yelling the loudest, the craziest things in the room at any given time. and they've divorced conservatism from prudence, from pragmatism, from it's attenuation to reality. so i think it's great that john boehner and other leaders are saying enough is enough here because we need to have a healthy republican party in this country to help solve some of the problems that have been built up over the time, and it's true that but for the senate conservatism fund and these other groups, the person that paul ryan would be negotiating with would be the republican senate group leader because we have a
